On the snow

  • Carve or slash

    Lay it over on the edges, or smear the skis across and slash. Tuck for speed, and check it before the rollover.

  • Ride switch

    Revert and ride it backwards. Come round too fast across the fall line and you catch an edge.

  • Deep snow

    You sink in powder, never past the waist, and fat skis float. The spray throws its own shadow.

  • Tracks that stay

    Every turn you cut stays on the mountain until new snow fills it in. Big landings leave bomb holes.

  • Earn your turns

    Skate the flats, herringbone and sidestep, put the skins on, and boot-pack the steeps. Or ride the lifts; at Valdez the helicopter sets you down.

  • Stop and rope down

    Hold an edge on anything up to 55°, and rappel the cliff bands you'd rather not jump.

In the air

  • Pop

    Crouch on the way in and pop off the lip.

  • Spins, flips and corks

    Spins, back and front flips, corks, bios, rodeos, mistys, D-spins and Lincoln loops, doubled and tripled. Called the way you'd call them: Switch Left Cork 720 Safety.

  • Grabs

    Eight grabs and eight doubles, from a Mute to a Christ Air. Grab with the leading hand for more.

  • Butters

    Press the tips or the tails and pivot on the snow.

  • Landings

    Stomped, landed, backslap, or ride it out. The drop and the snow decide how hard you hit, and powder is three times softer than hardpack.

  • Build a kicker

    Stop anywhere, build a jump, and go back up to hit it again. The Jump Lab is a hill for testing them.

Judged

  • Scored like a freeride comp

    Line, Control, Technique, Fluidity, and Air and Style, out of 100. Fall and it's capped.

  • The judges' view

    Watch your run back from where the judges sit.

  • A comp anywhere

    Pick a face, a start and a finish corral, or drop into one of the tour's faces.

  • Drop In

    A freeride comp night with friends. Everyone rides the same face at once on their own computer, then the runs go up on the TV one by one and the room judges them. Up to eight riders.

  • Six skis

    The all-mountain 180, a powder ski, a GS race ski, a park twin tip, a touring ski and a big-mountain charger. Rack them in the gear room.

  • Par times

    Race the old marks where there are any, like Toni Matt's 1939 run down the Inferno at Tuckerman.
